The requested dns-inwx plugin does not appear to be installed #34

Closed pkoevesdi closed 1 week ago

pkoevesdi commented 7 months ago

I tried 3 methods of installing certbot and this plugin on 2 OS:

None of these work, I always get "The requested dns-inwx plugin does not appear to be installed" with certbot certonly -a dns-inwx -d sub.domain.tld -d *.wildcard.tld and "The requested certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx plugin does not appear to be installed" with certbot certonly -a certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx -d sub.domain.tld. Am I doing something wrong? Can somebody confirm that this still works with current certbot, current snap etc?

Hey there,

since I don't have any aarch64 device available, I've tried it in a freshly set up Ubuntu 23.10 server VM on amd64:

Seems to work as expected. How have you installed certbot?

pkoevesdi commented 6 months ago

As said, with apt (first keypoint) and, after uninstalling, again with snap (second key point).

oGGy990 commented 6 months ago

Well installation of certbot via apt and usage of setup.py is not really recommended as it interferes with your package management and I haven't used this in a looooong time.

Concerning snap, I meant, have you installed it using classic confinement? I did the following after the first VM boot, which lead to success:

sudo snap install --classic certbot
sudo snap install certbot-dns-inwx
sudo snap set certbot trust-plugin-with-root=ok
sudo snap connect certbot:plugin certbot-dns-inwx
sudo snap connect certbot-dns-inwx:certbot-metadata certbot:certbot-metadata
sudo certbot plugins

You may also run sudo snap connections certbot to validate you have no typos in your connections - if that's even possible. I'm not very savvy with regards to snap and its possibilities to debug unfortunately.

oGGy990 commented 6 months ago

Additionally, as you have first installed it via apt: have you checked, certbot on your shell is actually using /snap/bin/certbot ? e.g. whereis certbot. It might happen, that it is not properly removed after using pip on your global python env.

Then please consider removing this from the README.md:

  1. First install the plugin:
    • Without dependencies (if using certbot from your distribution repository): 
      python3 setup.py develop --no-deps

Thank You for Your engagement to help me (and anyway for this project!), but I switched over to acme.sh. But in general: Whatever You did to make it run, please write it into the README.md. I did exactly what's written there. In Your comment I see additional steps. And yes, my cerbot was /snap/bin/certbot with my second try.

Hi,

let me piggyback on this topic, as I have the same issue. I think during the last week it stopped working for me with the above error message. Two weeks ago everything worked like a charm.

Any thoughts what I can do?

Hi @thef-uk ,

if it was working last week, this is most likely a side effect of #35. They stated users wouldn't use the newer version until certbot 3.0.0 is released, but snap doesn't provide a dependency relation. So, I guess, you have already received the version 2.2.1 of the plugin which requires certbot 3.0.0 (due to snap core24 with python 3.12) but are still using the latest stable certbot snap of version 2.11 (using snap core20 and python 3.8).

You can either just wait until certbot 3.0.0 is released (early this month) after which the plugin should start working again. Or downgrade, if you need the plugin right now: snap revert certbot-dns-inwx or snap refresh certbot-dns-inwx --channel=2.2.0/stable. You may need to manually upgrade to the latest stable channel once certbot is released then - but I am no snap expert.

Well, it seems we just have to wait and hope for the best. 😬

That's what you get for just reading the docs without knowing how snap works, sorry about that. ;-)

As the certbot dev's seem to be taking "early october" not so strictly, I reverted the latest/stable channel to 2.2.0 and will switch it back to 2.2.1 once the 3.0.0 release is actually out. But I'm not sure if snap will automatically perform a downgrade...

katzenjens commented 1 month ago

Thanks for the prompt reaction! I will give it a try. 🤗 [edit] it works as expected.

lcnittl commented 2 weeks ago

Hi all, Seems the time has come and certbot latest/stable is on 3.0.0, causing it to fail with certbot-dns-inwx latest/stable (currently still at 2.2.0). Greetings, lcnittl

oGGy990 commented 1 week ago

Thanks for your heads up @Icnittl !

I've been on a business trip and moved the 2.2.1 release to back to stable on the day of your comment but wasn't able to respond due to the 2FA on my GitHub account... ;-)
